No i didn't use polythene as i thought any damp/ condensation would run down behind the wood I can redo the insulation and use a polythene if it will help - any recomendations on what to use?

Well little update - with this freezing weather i've found the moisture resistat chipboard on the walls is allowing damp to come through :( I'm guessing it's from the outside so maybe the polystyrene isn't doing its job? should i pull the board off and place another layer of kingspan/ celotex...

So was it the reciever (the collar on the ignition)? Glad you got it sorted :D

Do you smell screenwash in the car? Is there a stain/ damp patch on the headlining near the back neext to the hatch? Golfs have a connection there which also comes loose (remove trim around headlining and drop headlining slightly to get to pipe)

If it carried on driving (even with no dash lights) then it can't be the imobiliser. Does starter turn or does it just click? Does central locking work and all other electrics (windows, etc) Check all fuses Check earth wire to starter + battery

I bought some Kingspan the other week and 1 side has the Kingspan logos and the other side is plain. I ordered an extra sheet to complete the project (from same supplier) and they sent 1 whick looked identical but it had Celotex logos on 1 side (plain on the other side)

Well had the 20ftx10ft sectional garage up for 3 years and after the last couple of bad winters where it was freezing inside i've now added some insulation. Polystyrene was fitted behind the moisture resistant chipboard on the walls and Celotex was fitted to the roof, the floor was covered in...

The polystyrene is 25mm thick which i thought would be ok? If i use polythene directly behind the chipboard wouldn't that create condensation from the wall side and drip down? Should i paint the interior side of the chipboards with an anti-condensation paint (as used on bathroom ceilings) to...

I had a new prefab 24ft x 10ft garage errected 3 years ago and the last couple of winters it has been so cold inside the car had condensation and the water based products in a plastic cupboard had frozen :( I use a small oil filled radiator but it isn't enough to heat the garage and i just want...

Yep - tries that but no difference :( Only manual over-ride (seperate switch) will turn it off

We had new floodlights fitted a few months ago and 1 on front of the garage was wired seperate to the garage fusebox. The lights have been working great until this week when the garage light switched on as usual in the morning when i walked upto it. The light came on and i got the car out and...

A trader doesn't have to have the logbook in his name if he's selling it on, this is good as it doesn't add another owner and you don't have to wait for it to come back from dvla after change of owner. If he's selling the car then he should declare he's a trader from the start, if it's...

I'm looking to buy a de-humidifier to put in the cold concrete garage to stop the damp getting to my motorbike during the winter. I had 1 several years ago and it packed up (guessing due to the cold?) but i understand the later ones don't have the elements on the back? I'm wanting to pay...

Haven't forgotten to reply - it's been almost 2 weeks and the stuff still hasn't been delivered :x

Thanks for the help, i've just sent off for some Liberon Path & Patio Sealer - hope it works :)

It was bought quite a distance away when i was on a day out, it cost £30 which is less than the fuel would be to return it

i'll try the waterseal and hope it works, don't want it painting with a colour as i want it natural stone colour

I've just bought the parents a concrete birdbath as they enjoy the wildlife in the garden (nice son aren't i) we filled it up and the next day all the water had gone but the pedestal was wet? after a couple of days i noticed drips from under the bath part so it appears to be leaking - pourus...

We had a new sectional garage built a couple of years ago with a pitched roof. Last winter when it was really cold the contents were covered in condensation and the walls were really cold. Before this winter i was wanting to put something against the walls to stop the cold comming through but...

Our front garden is on a busy road and having a very low wall (1ft) it isn't private. I'm wanting to plant some low maintence shrubs which will grow upto 4ft tall (just above car window height) and was hoping for some ideas Thanks
